Even his pregnant girlfriend\u2019s Halloween party mustn\u2019t keep him from his appointed rounds, so off into the wilds of rural England he goes. En route, he collides with another car, rescues an injured girl from the wreckage, and is then pursued by her captors. Meanwhile at Ravenswing, the forces of evil are aligning to restore the sarsens of an ancient stone circle sitting on powerful ley lines. Glendening\u2019s origins as a film director are evident, with enough action-packed chase scenes, shotgun blasts, spectacular explosions, murders and blood to satisfy a <i>Die Hard<\/i> addict, and the clash of Celtic, Christian, and Satanic lore makes for a particularly gory and spine-tingling climax.\u00a0 The hero is a lovable guy, worrying about his girlfriend, his unborn child, and the girl he has promised to protect. This first novel by a guy with a brilliant imagination is one to watch. A little polishing of prose and punctuation would have it ready for prime time.<\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by: Julie Adams<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ravenswing: a Halloween Adventure \u00a0by Jonathan Glendening CreateSpace, 2014 ISBN: 978-1438237022 Available:\u00a0 Kindle and paperback &nbsp; On Halloween, Michael is assigned to deliver a package to the mysterious address \u201cRavenswing\u201d by midnight\u2026 or lose his courier job.
